Aloe peglerae

Each flower is a soul opening out to nature. 
- Gerard De Nerval


Parker fountain pen, black ink and W&N watercolours on Bockingford 300gsm watercolour paper 

This is Aloe peglerae, which I saw in the veld on the way to Magaliesburg, endemic to South Africa occurring only in Gauteng and one other province (North-West province). It is listed in the Red Data list of South Africa as an endangered species on the extinction queue if not protected or grown for ex-situ conservation.
